[00:00:53] Hide your kids, lock the doors!

[00:00:55] You're listening to HR's most dangerous podcast.

[00:00:58] Chad Sawash and Joel Chesman are here to punch the recruiting industry right where it hurts.

[00:01:04] Complete with breaking news, rash opinion and loads of snark.

[00:01:08] Buckle up boys and girls, it's time for the Chad & Cheese Podcast.

[00:01:12] Oh, yeah. Two guys sharing a drink called loneliness but it's better than drinking alone.

[00:01:26] Hi kids, it's the Chad & Cheese Podcast.

[00:01:29] I'm your co-host Joel Solar Eclipse, Chesman.

[00:01:33] This is Chad, Girl Power Sawash.

[00:01:35] And on this episode, LinkedIn, TikToks, Indeed Sources and Amazon Just Walks

[00:01:42] Out Plus Buy or Sell. Let's do this.

[00:01:49] Okay, listener, how can you help your employees become more productive?

[00:01:54] I have answers.

[00:01:55] How about automating manual and repetitive tasks, giving meaning to data,

[00:02:00] then allowing that data to actually drive decisions?

[00:02:04] And how about matching people to your jobs quicker?

[00:02:08] Well, wait. The Chad & Cheese has a new LLM?

[00:02:12] No, Chesman. I'm talking about Tex Colonel.

[00:02:16] Okay, that makes more sense.

[00:02:18] What I'm hearing is the groundbreaking concept of, wait for it, simplicity.

[00:02:25] Seriously though, seriously.

[00:02:27] Tex Colonel cuts through the complexities like a tortilla chip through some hot nacho cheese.

[00:02:33] Oh my god. Really? Nacho references already.

[00:02:35] Anyways, Tex Colonel brings efficiency and productivity to your operations.

[00:02:40] Tex Colonel seamlessly unifies your tools and data to drive efficiencies and success.

[00:02:48] Tex Colonel is creating new opportunities for your recruitment journey,

[00:02:53] kind of like adding guac to my barbacoa burrito.

[00:02:56] Oh my god. How about extracting meaningful insights from data?

[00:03:01] I mean, that's something.

[00:03:02] Swiftly matching people with jobs, automating repetitive tasks.

[00:03:07] Who knew such advanced concepts were even possible in the land of human resources?

[00:03:15] We did, Chad. We did.

[00:03:17] Dude, wrap it up. I'm a little hungry.

[00:03:20] Imagine that. Okay, listener, get ready to use today's tech to drive efficiencies

[00:03:25] and productivity. Visit TexColonel.com. That's T-E-X-T-K-E-R-N-E-L.com.

[00:03:35] Mmm, nachos.

[00:03:40] Have you heard there's a big event in Indiana on Monday called the Solar Eclipse?

[00:03:46] Yeah, we've got a little town here, Columbus, Indiana, 40,000 people.

[00:03:51] And this weekend we're supposed to have 250,000 people because we are in the direct path.

[00:03:58] It's fucking crazy.

[00:03:59] Yeah, my aunt and little Seymour, which is smaller than Columbus,

[00:04:03] they're expecting like 100,000 people. It'll be great for the economy.

[00:04:08] That's for sure. I hope the weather cooperates.

[00:04:10] Yeah. I mean, no matter what, it's not like people aren't going to buy shit, right?

[00:04:15] It's the thing. It was funny. I was going through physical therapy this morning,

[00:04:20] the whole shoulder thing and everybody was talking about getting your groceries,

[00:04:24] getting it. It was almost like an apocalypse, right?

[00:04:26] You got to make sure you get your groceries,

[00:04:28] got to get your stuff, getting them like, why?

[00:04:31] I mean, you're like, well, you won't be able to get groceries. Everybody's going to buy everything out.

[00:04:34] Four minutes of night in the middle of the day is going to destroy everything.

[00:04:41] As listeners know, my wife is a scientist professor, so we're having a get-together.

[00:04:48] You don't really have parties at our age. We're having a get-together.

[00:04:52] And Sun King, a popular brewery here in central Indiana has an eclipse beer.

[00:04:58] They all do.

[00:04:59] It's crazy.

[00:05:00] Yeah, we have two growlers ready to rock. For Tuesday, we've got the glasses.

[00:05:06] I'm calling it the Joller Eclipse.

[00:05:08] That's so bad. So bad. So how was Easter real quick?

[00:05:13] All good?

[00:05:13] Easter was good. Easter was also Jeremy's birthday. I'm now a seven-year-old.

[00:05:18] So Easter was Godzilla vs. King Kong.

[00:05:22] That's awesome.

[00:05:23] Or they're actually teaming up to fights. Yeah, monsters killing each other.

[00:05:27] It's great.

[00:05:27] Love it.

[00:05:28] Easter egg hunt had my 84-year-old dad come over.

[00:05:32] We had by Jeremy's choice pizza sammies, so like big grinders with pepperoni and pizza and cheese,

[00:05:39] which is fine with me.

[00:05:40] Calzone.

[00:05:41] Calzone.

[00:05:42] And I was like, how about you?

[00:05:43] Yeah, I went down to Clarksville, Tennessee.

[00:05:46] My brother and sister-in-law are getting ready to move to Australia.

[00:05:51] I can't wait to go visit them. So we visit them and their three young boys.

[00:05:56] So that was a good time. And literally on Easter, we started drinking like at 10 a.m.

[00:06:01] and we didn't stop all through the day. Beer-Mosa's, I mean you name it.

[00:06:06] So other brother-in-law actually did a big-ass brisket and ribs.

[00:06:12] And so yeah, it was pretty awesome. It was a good send-off. Let's just say that.

[00:06:17] Yeah. Well, I didn't hear from you on Monday.

[00:06:20] So I assume that you were either hung over or recovering from brisket overdose.

[00:06:24] Traveling back and trying not to fall asleep at the wheel with all that fucking brisket on my stomach.

[00:06:30] Do you have a favorite Tennessee whiskey?

[00:06:33] No, I don't. I'm not a big Tennessee whiskey fan and there are so many bourbons in Kentucky.

[00:06:39] I just haven't pushed past it. Not to mention, I'm really looking forward to,

[00:06:43] we'll talk about this later kids, our trip to Scotland.

[00:06:46] Yeah, tease. I like Bibbon Tucker. Try it out if you have any.

[00:06:50] Yeah.

[00:06:50] I feel like the whiskey is Bibbon Tucker.

[00:06:52] And it's a cool bottle. Bibbon Tucker.

[00:06:53] Cool bottle as well. All right.

[00:06:55] Shout out. All right, we're going to go first shout out kid to Sebastian Detmers,

[00:07:01] the CEO over at Stepstone. So earlier this week he posted the following on LinkedIn, quote,

[00:07:06] after much contemplation I've decided to embark on a digital detox journey and we'll be going

[00:07:12] offline for the next three months. During my absence all standard internal and external inquiries

[00:07:18] will be in the capable virtual hands of chat GPT courtesy of an innovative AICEO partnership with

[00:07:26] OpenAI end quote. So the post goes on, but after reading this I reached out to a couple of friends

[00:07:32] at and I was still you know kind of loopy from Easter by the way at Stepstone and

[00:07:38] Appcast. I was like dude what the fuck? I got nothing but laughing emojis and he got you.

[00:07:44] Yes. It was an April Fools joke and yes Sebastian you got me my friend. You got me. Good job.

[00:07:50] Good job on that one. I fucking hate April Fools.

[00:07:53] Maybe he's been listening to this show because we've talked about CEOs going away

[00:07:57] and being replaced by AI. So it wasn't that out of the norm for us to see something like that.

[00:08:04] Good job. That's good. That's good.

[00:08:06] My first shout out, I'm sure you saw Taiwan had a big earthquake this week.

[00:08:12] And I was amazed at how well the infrastructure handled it. They have a huge building that was

[00:08:21] fine, bridges. It was pretty well maintained. There are a few buildings but the buildings

[00:08:28] that fell didn't like collapse into dust. They kind of like fell off the base. Most of the

[00:08:33] people were saved. Just shout out to Taiwan and their infrastructure in contrast to us.

[00:08:40] It has one boat hit the base of a bridge and the whole thing falls down like a bridge of toothpicks.

[00:08:46] I don't know if it's too late for the infrastructure bill but the USA is in dire need

[00:08:52] of some Taiwanese engineer. Yeah. I think any of those buildings that would have gotten hit by

[00:08:57] a container ship would have gone down. My shout out to Girl Power. That's right. The AP

[00:09:05] is reporting that women's Final Four tickets are on the resale market selling for an average of,

[00:09:11] get ready kids, $2,300 which is twice as much as the men's Final Four. And you've got

[00:09:18] Caitlin Clark from Iowa to thank for that. Camilla over at South Carolina. God, she is big

[00:09:24] and she is like the shack of NCAA basketball for women. Paige Becker's, Angel Reese,

[00:09:33] but Friday matches are Iowa against Connecticut, South Carolina against North Carolina State.

[00:09:39] It's pretty awesome because I know that you remember going to girls basketball games and

[00:09:45] like the scores would be 35 to 12, right? It was excruciating watching girls basketball. But now

[00:09:54] I like watching the girls play more than I do the dudes. Yeah. It's amazing.

[00:10:02] To your point, that was a high scoring affair if it was 35 to 12. That was a banger, maybe,

[00:10:08] back in the day. Totally. So I have friends in Cleveland, which were the Final Four is,

[00:10:14] and I can confirm that they have reached out or tried to get some second market tickets,

[00:10:19] aftermarket tickets. And the cheapest that they found was $800 a ticket. And this is

[00:10:24] a professional arena. This isn't like a high school gym. Like 20,000. This is legit. So

[00:10:29] so huge. And I'm going to mess up some of these, but the viewership of the Iowa LSU game

[00:10:35] Oh God, topped, I think the Grammys like every award show most of the NBA playoff games like

[00:10:44] really big viewership. And I think it's a rematch of last year's final rematch. Yeah.

[00:10:48] Great characters story with those two. Caitlin Clark is very likely to be the first

[00:10:56] pick coming to Indiana, Indiana next year. And as an Indiana resident, I can't be more excited

[00:11:02] than to have her. They also had the first pick last year. So they could be a juggernaut of a WNBA

[00:11:07] team. They're going to sell out the arena, which is kind of amazing. They might outsell

[00:11:11] the Pacers on average. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, the Pacers are pretty good still. But yeah.

[00:11:18] So my shout out piggybacks on that. I think this has been the most fun

[00:11:22] March madness that I can remember a long time. And a lot of it isn't even the NCAA. You mentioned

[00:11:27] the women's basketball, which I echo the NIT is one of the most fun tournaments that I've seen

[00:11:33] in a while now Indiana State hasn't done anything since Larry Bird was there in the 70s.

[00:11:38] They're the number one seed they should have been in the NCAA, but I'm kind of glad they're

[00:11:42] not because now they're playing in the final four, which is in Indiana. They're playing in

[00:11:47] Butler, which if you're a Midwester or Hoosier, this is like folklore. This is my land and the

[00:11:54] movie Hoosiers like this is a really old historic arena. Indiana State's basically going to be the

[00:11:59] home team in this thing. They beat Utah and they play a Seton Hall, I think for the championship.

[00:12:07] So it's like a biggie school playing Indiana State. Like that's so much fun. They have this

[00:12:12] guy. His name is Robbie Avila and he wears these throwback goggles like Kareem used to wear and worthy

[00:12:21] and he's about six, nine, I think white guy. He's mixed. He's like half Hispanic, half white.

[00:12:28] And he has the best nicknames. His nicknames include cream Abdul-Jabbar, not pouring, but cream

[00:12:35] like cream soda. Larry Nerd, Larry Bird and Milk Chamberlain is another one. So great nicknames

[00:12:44] there. And then you got DJ Horn at NC State. You mentioned the big folks in the middle. This guy,

[00:12:53] he's listed at 275. He hasn't seen 275 since eighth grade. I don't know where the hell

[00:12:58] they're getting that. But this dude, he's got personality. He's fun. NC State is a underdog.

[00:13:08] Purdue is like one all-American and a bunch of Indiana like Jim Ratz. So that's kind of fun

[00:13:16] to watch. Kind of a throwback to teams of the 80s and 70s. But yeah, shout out to March Madness.

[00:13:21] If last month was Six Nations, this month has been March Madness and it's been a hell of a

[00:13:27] fun. Amen. Well, a shout out, last shout out goes to Free Stuff. That's right. Free T-shirts from

[00:13:33] Erin App, free beer in Whiskey that are coming to your front door. Beer from Aspen Tech Labs,

[00:13:40] Whiskey from Tex Colonel, one bottle from Joel, one bottle from me. And if it's your birthday,

[00:13:47] you could win rum. So you have attention in the air right now. I know I can.

[00:13:54] I can feel it all the way down in my plums. All right, a few listeners are celebrating another

[00:14:00] trip around the sun. Kind of eclipse, solar eclipse. I don't know if there's any tie in there. Todd

[00:14:06] Burns, Amy English, Arno Schaefer, Derek Christiansen, Rob McIntosh, Louis Nobrek, and Patrick York.

[00:14:16] Happy birthday! I'll celebrate a birthday this week. Happy birthday to you guys. Excellent. Well,

[00:14:22] I'm not going to be going anywhere for the eclipse because we're getting ready to go to Vegas, my friend.

[00:14:28] We're getting ready to go to Vegas. Yes, we are. Unleash America is coming to Las Vegas again,

[00:14:36] May 7th through the 9th. The day before on March 6th, Joel and I are going to get high.

[00:14:42] No, not that kind of high. We're going to the top of the stratosphere and we're jumping over

[00:14:49] 800 feet to earth with our friend Matt Bauer, the CEO from OutHire. That's right, OutHire.

[00:14:58] What more is that OutHire is paying for our listeners to join us do the jump? So if you

[00:15:05] want to register to win or nominate maybe your boss or a friend to jump with us,

[00:15:10] goodchatchies.com, it's right there in the hero header, click the jump with us button

[00:15:17] right on the home page. Register and come see us then. Yeah, come see us, fall to earth. Then

[00:15:25] on Tuesday, May 7th, this is where Keebu comes in. We're heading to the minus five bar with

[00:15:34] JobPixel and Great People. More details to come but I'm telling you right now,

[00:15:39] we're going to feel like we're in Finland. It's going to be cold. We're going to have the

[00:15:42] big puffy jackets. I guarantee you and then last but not least on May 8th, we're joining our friends

[00:15:51] over at Plum at the Neon Boneyard. You love Lil Neon. Here's Lil Chat and G's Neon where we're

[00:15:57] going to be drinking, eating and basking in the evening glow of Las Vegas' iconic retired

[00:16:04] neon signs. You know those old neon signs that they thought they got rid of? Oh, they didn't

[00:16:10] get rid of them, kids. They're all in a neon boneyard. Google Neon Boneyard. Check it out. It is freaking

[00:16:18] awesome. Us there with our friends from Plum. It's going to be a great unleash.

[00:16:24] It is going to be great but I heard nothing after jumping toward that from your first segment.

[00:16:31] I'm trying so there's a weight limit of 265 I think. I'm trying to, I'm going to see how

[00:16:37] many burritos it takes to get to a point where I get on the scale and they're like,

[00:16:42] Steve, you're too heavy. Sorry. Sorry. If not, I need to invest in some depends because I'm going

[00:16:48] to shit my pants when I jump off this thing. Oh God. Is that it for announcements? That's it.

[00:16:56] All right. We got some red meat for the listeners this week. Indeed has revamped its user profile page,

[00:17:09] introducing an AI-powered writer to enhance work experience descriptions and supporting

[00:17:14] multiple resumes. It also launched smart sourcing suites for recruiters including AI-powered

[00:17:20] candidate summaries and custom messages aiming to reduce irrelevant outreach

[00:17:25] in streamlined hiring processes. Chad, what are your thoughts from the latest upgrades at Indeed?

[00:17:31] This is nothing more than just window dressing at the top of the funnel. Why is it Indeed

[00:17:36] making more of an effort to move down funnel? AI resumes full of hallucinations and easy

[00:17:42] applies. That's a recipe for fucking disaster. How does any of that help companies find the

[00:17:49] right candidates? Well, it just doesn't. So if Indeed wanted to make a real impact, they would move

[00:17:54] down funnel, partner with platforms like Tadio or Hacker Rank to start gathering skills and performance

[00:18:00] data that actually matters. Coding tests, performance tests, gather the data that employers

[00:18:06] actually fucking need. Also from this article I thought was interesting, talent.com was mentioned

[00:18:12] in the story as a competitor. It was, yeah. I mean, come on man. So many of these aggregators

[00:18:17] are just Indeed pilot fish. They're collecting the crumbs, they're not innovating, they're not

[00:18:23] moving the needle and they're definitely not competitors. So if you talent.com and quote

[00:18:29] unquote competitors, if you want to compete with Indeed, beat them to the punch, go down funnel,

[00:18:34] collect the data that employers and LLMs, yes large language models will use to make relevant

[00:18:41] matches better. The reason why I hate on Indeed so hard is because they have the means to change

[00:18:49] this industry and yet they're changing the drapes in the fucking basement. For example, interview

[00:18:55] scheduling, they talk about interview scheduling in this. In 2024, interview scheduling should be

[00:19:00] a fucking afterthought. When a candidate applies for a job, answer some pre-screening

[00:19:05] prequel questions. They should meet, if they meet the requirements, they should have an

[00:19:10] interview now button that pops up and it takes you directly to a qualify, a pillar or a vet for

[00:19:17] interview. I mean, we should be cutting corners as opposed to just playing the window dressing

[00:19:22] game and that's all Indeed is doing and I fucking hate that. 60% of the time it works

[00:19:28] every time. Tell us how you really feel, Chad. Both barrels. So I view this as

[00:19:36] Google came out and sort of struck out against the job board industry and job postings and that

[00:19:42] seems to be alleviated for the most point. Link Google has said we're not getting into pay per

[00:19:46] click, we'll let you guys still put your job postings in our search. So now it's like what's

[00:19:52] the other front of Indeed's war that they need to think about and that's LinkedIn in my opinion.

[00:19:58] So to me, both of these updates are reactions to what LinkedIn is failing to do or has

[00:20:06] effectively crushed outside of its walled garden. So with LinkedIn Job Search,

[00:20:13] LinkedIn Job Search sucks. Like it's related searches or recommendations are awful. So if

[00:20:21] I'm Indeed, I already have a better job search than LinkedIn does. So what does LinkedIn do

[00:20:26] that I can do better? Well, on LinkedIn, I can have generally one profile. And now

[00:20:33] LinkedIn comes out with, oh, now you can have five resumes. So if you want one to be focused on a

[00:20:39] specific skill you can, if you want another resume specific, personally this can go really bad,

[00:20:44] five resumes per person. But at least in theory, it's a strike against LinkedIn because

[00:20:49] LinkedIn only has one profile. So that is a differentiator, whether it's worthy or not of

[00:20:56] competing with LinkedIn, I guess we'll find out but it is a move to go after LinkedIn. I think the

[00:21:01] bigger product or upgrade is the sourcing tool which from at least one insider that I talked to

[00:21:10] at Indeed, they're really focused on the sourcing stuff. Like they're really

[00:21:15] batting down the hatches, all hands on deck kind of thing. Like that's a LinkedIn thing. They want to

[00:21:21] take away recruiter seats. And that's exactly a LinkedIn thing. So we've talked about LinkedIn

[00:21:27] effectively crushing every other third party solution that uses its data, the seekouts of

[00:21:34] the world, the hire tools, the hirees like so Indeed has said, look, we can't let LinkedIn

[00:21:40] just own this sourcing thing. We have a hell of a lot of resumes too. So how do we keep people in

[00:21:47] our ecosystem searching our resumes and then sourcing effectively messaging, etc to those people? So

[00:21:54] this entire move for me from Indeed is a strike at LinkedIn. I think the sourcing

[00:22:00] is really interesting. I think the job search like you said is sort of lipstick on a pig.

[00:22:05] But they've got LinkedIn in their sites clearly and I don't think this is the last

[00:22:10] strike that they're going to make on LinkedIn. Well, how you make sourcing better is better data

[00:22:17] for better matches. We already know their matching is shit. It's probably not as bad as LinkedIn's,

[00:22:22] but their matching is already shit. They need better data to be able to bump up against. Having

[00:22:27] five resumes is fucking stupid. I mean, it's like back to the future. How many pieces of

[00:22:33] shit can we throw out there for people to actually look at? I don't care. What I care is,

[00:22:39] do they meet the requirements and do they have the skills and can they perform? That's it.

[00:22:45] And then go ahead and get me right into the interview. And at that point, we can see if

[00:22:49] there's a match. That's it guys. It's that fucking simple. But what they're doing is they're playing

[00:22:55] up top at the top of the funnel and that doesn't fucking matter. None of it matters.

[00:23:00] None of it matters. So go down funnel. And again, for all the talent.coms that are out

[00:23:05] there, the ad zunas. I mean, even companies who don't even look like Indeed competitors,

[00:23:10] go down funnel, get that data because the market is all about the large language models

[00:23:15] and being able to grind that data pool, that new data that LinkedIn doesn't have,

[00:23:21] that Indeed doesn't have. Get that data so you win.

[00:23:26] I don't think Chad's impressed everybody. I don't think Chad is

[00:23:30] impressed. Impressed at all. Let's get to LinkedIn's news and see if that impresses you.

[00:23:36] LinkedIn is testing TikTok style video options, aiming to help users discover timely videos.

[00:23:43] The feature will appear next to the home button and resembles TikTok and Instagram Reels.

[00:23:50] LinkedIn plans to provide more information about the new service very soon. So Chad,

[00:23:55] are you ready to karaoke and dance to LinkedIn's TikTok competitor?

[00:24:00] They had a version of Instagram Reels at one time and then they just trashed that.

[00:24:05] Why are they doing this? I mean, is TikTok stealing stickiness from them? Do they see that TikTok

[00:24:11] has stickiness that they want? And we talked about last week, it feels like Indeed is going

[00:24:17] more toward trying to be sticky for advertising dollars, right? To be able to keep people

[00:24:23] on platform to be able to get those advertising dollars. And one of the things that we also talked

[00:24:29] about was that LinkedIn doesn't stick with some of these big projects that they put in place.

[00:24:36] They need to hire someone with discipline focused and damned patience for God's sake.

[00:24:42] Some of the ideas actually do make sense if they're implemented well, but right now I put

[00:24:48] our videos on TikTok and then I put the same ones on LinkedIn already. So what's, I mean,

[00:24:54] I don't understand how this is going to change behavior at all.

[00:24:57] So a couple of weeks ago, I mentioned that I thought LinkedIn bailed on video too soon.

[00:25:03] They've already tried, like you said, Reels. I would have called them sort of Snapchat stories

[00:25:09] that they quickly got rid of. And I feel like with our video experience, our shorts,

[00:25:15] and you're seeing more and more shorts because every podcasting platform will create shorts for

[00:25:20] you. So we're going to see more of that in every industry. And bailing on that was a bad idea

[00:25:26] because you could have seen where the world was going and bailing on it was the wrong decision.

[00:25:31] It looks like now they're going to basically relaunch some sort of video short system.

[00:25:37] They'll probably have it more in the main feed. They won't just have it as circles at

[00:25:41] the top that are kind of out of the main feed area. It'll increase engagement, it'll increase

[00:25:46] sort of interest in advertising agencies love these videos. Small companies can make these

[00:25:52] videos really quickly. AI is going to make a lot more videos, some of these shorts.

[00:25:57] So I think it's a good move. They never should have got out of it, in my opinion.

[00:26:01] Now the second thing they need to do is the live video stuff because they're awful at it

[00:26:06] and they should be really good at it. By all accounts, you have to use a third party

[00:26:11] to even stream on LinkedIn. They should have their own thing. And by the way, X which I know you love

[00:26:16] is getting better at sort of the live video, live conversations. And that is going to be

[00:26:22] something that LinkedIn needs to do well. So this is the first step into video. They need

[00:26:27] to work out like having webinars and podcasts like this live, live streamed on LinkedIn. And

[00:26:32] I think they've got something that's pretty interesting. Otherwise, let's hope they don't

[00:26:36] bail on this like they did the stories that they had six months to a year ago.

[00:26:40] Yeah. Well, I see once again on the advertising side of the house, this gives

[00:26:45] another vehicle to be able to do ads. Right? So not just for us to be able to do podcast

[00:26:51] snippets or shorts or what have you, but this is going to allow ads. Those guacamole ads

[00:26:58] that we saw that were static guacamole ads, we're going to get a commercial on LinkedIn. So

[00:27:06] I really see this turning into more of an advertising platform and literally pivoting

[00:27:12] in some respects away from the recruitment space because there's a hell of a lot more money

[00:27:16] in advertising if they can hold on to those recruiter seats, right? Which,

[00:27:21] you know, we all know HR is really fucking slow to move in the first place, but then

[00:27:25] also go after that very quick hit of, you know, the marketing side of the house.

[00:27:30] Then, you know, that does make sense. We'll see if it works though.

[00:27:33] Look, historically, LinkedIn sucks at advertising. I mean, they still have those little like box ads

[00:27:39] on the rights like, come on. So yeah, like getting something video, something interactive,

[00:27:44] every agency will say, let's give LinkedIn another look where we haven't done anything

[00:27:48] on there in a long time. Take that Twitter money, that Twitter. We've seen reports where

[00:27:54] they have actually taken Twitter money. And I say they, those are companies who used to spend money

[00:27:59] on Twitter and they want to spend it on platforms like LinkedIn. LinkedIn wants to give them the

[00:28:05] opportunity so that they can get that fucking Twitter cash. Yep. And integrating into advertising

[00:28:11] platforms. Look, companies are going to want to make a single TikTok ad. And how do I put it

[00:28:15] on Twitter? How do I put it on LinkedIn? So like they want to be able to shotgun it

[00:28:19] everywhere and LinkedIn needs to have something that they can put their ad. All right,

[00:28:23] let's take a quick break. Human resources is supposed to be about humans. I mean,

[00:28:31] it's right there in the name. But when your hiring team is more like an assembly line,

[00:28:35] glued to their computers, manually posting heaps of jobs everywhere they can think of,

[00:28:41] that human part feels nowhere to be found. This is a new era. Pando IQ takes the mind-numbing

[00:28:47] copy pasting and nerve-wracking guesswork out of the job posting process. When you plan a

[00:28:51] hiring campaign with Pando IQ, you tell us who you need. Then before you ever spend a cent,

[00:28:57] we predict what it will cost to find them. Pando IQ chooses the ideal recruiting sites from thousands

[00:29:02] of options, targeting the ones your next great hire frequently visits, then fires off your ads

[00:29:07] at precisely calculated times, surfacing the most relevant applicants for you to pick from.

[00:29:12] Now you're free to get to know the best talent, build great teams and take care

[00:29:16] of your humans. Pando IQ will do the rest so you can get back to doing what the computers

[00:29:21] can't. For more information on Pando IQ, go to pandologic.com. That's pandologic.com.

[00:29:31] All right, Chad. It's buy or sell. You know how we play the game. We listen to three companies

[00:29:39] that have recently gotten money and we read a summary and then we either buy or sell

[00:29:46] the company. And for whatever reason, I can't find my boxer. Oh, there it is. Okay.

[00:29:53] There it is. All right. There it is. Now I'm in the mood to play some buy or sell. All right,

[00:29:57] number one, we got London-based MetaView, one of your faves from a recent firing squad.

[00:30:03] They're an AI assistant for streamlining hiring processes. They've raised $7 million

[00:30:08] in funding. The funds will accelerate product development and the team growth.

[00:30:12] They say they're already saving teams at least 20 hours per hire. Chad, you weren't much of a fan,

[00:30:19] like I said, but they're giving you 7 million new reasons why you should change your mind.

[00:30:25] Buy or sell MetaView. Yeah, it's funny because we spoke with Jason Corcello earlier this week

[00:30:31] from Acadian Ventures and he was talking about on the seed side, there's a lot of...

[00:30:38] It's hot. There's a lot of money that's going to be spent on the seed side because people want

[00:30:43] to spend that money. You said it last week, just on the IPO side, right? So people want to spend

[00:30:47] money. But in a world of generative AI, platforms like Google, Microsoft, Anthropoc, Mistral and Meta

[00:30:54] are going to win unless you have the secret sauce. And that secret sauce is years of data,

[00:31:02] like for example, ATS and CRM companies. Behavioral data. MetaView is way too late to the party. The

[00:31:09] beer's gone. All the hot chicks are passed out. The one thing MetaView has going for them is a great

[00:31:16] CEO and that's not enough for me. It's still... Even with those 7 million reasons, it's still

[00:31:23] a sell for me. All right, Chad. Interview intelligence is hot. I don't know if you've

[00:31:31] heard it. I hang out with a lot of kids that are talking about interview intelligence a lot.

[00:31:35] Now, I think some solutions that have been around a while, Bright Hire, Full Disclosure,

[00:31:40] I'm an advisor, Honit have evolved this thing a lot longer and they go further along than

[00:31:47] MetaView is. But it's a wave that is going to get a lot of attention and funding and it's

[00:31:55] going to be an acquisition target for somebody in the next two to three years. So if the mission is

[00:32:02] sell this thing at 7 million, could they sell it for 50? I guess. We'll see Bright Hire probably go

[00:32:08] off first. Honit's been around a while. Nick must just love running that business and not selling

[00:32:14] it. But for me, like I think it's a buy. I think it's a wave that is easy to surf even

[00:32:19] though the surfer in this case is maybe not the best surfer in the world. But for me,

[00:32:24] yeah, I got a I got a I got to buy it. I got to buy it. All right.

[00:32:31] That is met. Next up we have modal, modal learning a startup founded by 2x Udemy executives has

[00:32:39] secured 25 million in series A funding which brings their total to $32 million.

[00:32:45] Modal offers a platform focused on enhancing employees technical skills with courses

[00:32:50] on generative AI data management and analytics among others Chad by or sell modal.

[00:32:57] I can't stop myself. I've got a bye bye bye. And let me tell you why

[00:33:02] all companies are tech companies. We just had a great conversation with Mark Chaffee CEO over

[00:33:07] Hackajob earlier this week and he said that Walmart is pretty much absorbing

[00:33:11] tech talent that you know guys like your buddy Zuck are cutting and those tech people

[00:33:18] will need to keep their skills up to date they will need to advance those skills because they need

[00:33:23] to stay with the velocity of today's tech plus there are all those other non-tech technical

[00:33:30] skills that all employees will have to get trained on last but never the least you mentioned it

[00:33:37] Shimkus and Yang ex Udemy president and CEO are founders. This is too easy. This is exactly

[00:33:45] in the warehouse. They've sold something like this before bye bye bye.

[00:33:51] All right Chad is a bye on modal. Yeah look interview intelligence is hot upscaling is even

[00:33:59] hotter there's going to be a lot of money flowing into this companies want to grow their own

[00:34:04] they're tired of spending money on recruiting and recruiters and agencies like why can't we just

[00:34:11] educate our own folks and get them further up the the corporate ladder. Look this is an idea

[00:34:18] that's proven you've got gusto glow linkedin learning degreed Coursera like it's a proven model

[00:34:26] the only the only rest of these guys is they just get crushed by whoever becomes coke and

[00:34:31] Pepsi of the upskilling world and they just become a consolidation play yeah I think there's

[00:34:36] going to be a lot of room for companies they do have a pricing model that is sort of unique

[00:34:43] they only charge companies when employees successfully complete a course so there's a

[00:34:49] little bit of like there's no risk you're only going to pay when someone completes a course

[00:34:53] which is going to be very favorable to a lot of a lot of companies so yeah for me as well like this

[00:34:59] is this is a winner this is a winner all right our last company you're going to love these guys

[00:35:07] home from college that's right the name of the company is home from college a Los Angeles based

[00:35:13] career platform they've raised 5.4 million dollars in seed funding the platform caters to

[00:35:20] you guessed it gen z offering park time and full-time roles and serves clients like poppy

[00:35:26] aquifer and Steve Madden nothing says cool like a pair of Steve Madden's everybody with the cash

[00:35:33] home for college plans to expand the team and add more products for job seekers Chad buy or sell

[00:35:40] home for college wow man 5.4 million in seed that that's a lot of cash but the problem is

[00:35:50] college is transient you're in college until you're not and then you stop using your old

[00:35:56] college job systems then you moved on then you move on to LinkedIn indeed hack a job or wherever

[00:36:03] the people in your industry gravitate so that being said you need to either partner closely with

[00:36:09] colleges and universities or spend shit tons of cash on marketing month after month after month

[00:36:15] to maintain market penetration I personally have experience in building these types of

[00:36:21] college recruiting systems nightmares working directly with colleges universities career center

[00:36:26] directors and employers who have teams that are focused on hiring from the university and I promised

[00:36:32] myself I would never fucking do that again this is a sell very easily there enough all right

[00:36:40] I'll make it quick because we got a lot of show left to go I hate the name

[00:36:44] I hate the college I hate the college environment you're right like every few years there's a new

[00:36:49] player handshake go back the last time we heard from them yeah like monster track or whatever the

[00:36:54] fuck that like that's it's just bad business I hate targeting like generationally it just

[00:37:02] it's kind of silly to me look there's already a resume builder out there it's called LinkedIn

[00:37:07] and it already has all the people who are going to hire you on it so don't mess around with some

[00:37:13] work or home from college site to build your resume go to LinkedIn and build your resume there and keep

[00:37:21] it updated and and connect with people like it's such a much better product do you remember visual

[00:37:26] cv from back in the day oh yeah I mean this thing has been tried and tried again so for this like

[00:37:33] yeah you can guess I'm a big sell on home from college at least it's a dot com so you can

[00:37:40] remember that it's right kids get grandpa says get your profile on LinkedIn that's right all right let's

[00:37:46] talk a little food shall we little fast food a little quick serve action first up we have a

[00:37:54] waffle house the union of southern service workers has filed a petition against waffle house

[00:38:00] alleging the chain deducts mandatory meal costs from workers paychecks even if the meals aren't

[00:38:07] eaten workers are charged at least three dollars per on shift meal impacting those on a tipped

[00:38:13] sub minimum wage chat your thoughts and what's your go-to meal at waffle house because I know there's

[00:38:19] about 10 yeah there's a there's splattered and scattered and splattered and all that other fun

[00:38:24] stuff um this is from the waffle house employee manual quote meals must be consumed at the

[00:38:31] restaurant and no food can be taken home under the meal policy any food actually taken home

[00:38:37] by such an associate will be considered a to-go order and must be paid full price end quotes

[00:38:45] number one any company that says that stupid shit right out of the gate it's like fuck off but then

[00:38:51] the union of southern services workers called it especially alarming since as you said these

[00:38:58] workers make a sub minimum wage what is a sub minimum wage kids it's two dollars and 90 cents

[00:39:06] an hour yes europe yes europe you think you get fucked sometimes two dollars and 90 cents an hour

[00:39:12] plus tips but it's a waffle house we're talking tips at a waffle house this is not this is not uh

[00:39:20] upscale okay no one's ordering 200 dollars worth of food no waffle house no this to me is

[00:39:27] just fucking ridiculous um where the the center of gravity for where these waffle houses are georgia

[00:39:34] has 381 south carolina 144 north carolina 142 florida 133 and alabama 128 it's in the south

[00:39:44] it's in the south the impoverished if you take a look at where most poverty is in the us

[00:39:50] it's in the south and waffle house you're not helping you're not helping doesn't anyone notice

[00:39:56] i feel like i'm taking crazy these numbers right here so waffle house is a four billion dollar

[00:40:02] a year company it's a profit a guy a guy named joe rogers jr. is worth 1.7 billion dollars

[00:40:13] if this is true waffle house earns the douche bag company of the year award because chad's right these

[00:40:21] if you haven't been to waffle house you're missing out kids uh it is it is it's good people

[00:40:28] yes a lot of times this is the only company will hire them uh i've never had a bad experience

[00:40:34] from an employee at waffle house well okay it's usually at 2 in the morning the right answer is the

[00:40:40] the biscuits and gravy by the way in terms of best thing at at waffle house but yeah look if

[00:40:45] it's true waffle house didn't come out and say this is not true they didn't say uh this is why or we make

[00:40:51] it up so like so by all accounts this is true waffle house hasn't come and they have a pr department

[00:40:56] i'm sure yeah so uh so yeah uh this is bullshit i hope the union gets what they deserve i hope this

[00:41:04] practice stops because inevitably it's wage theft oh yeah at at worst and maybe at best it's

[00:41:09] corporate greed uh but it's a practice that's really stupid to stop it's both let's be honest

[00:41:16] making making a pile of pancakes at waffle house probably costs them 30 cents right and and to like

[00:41:24] three bucks i just it's just i don't it's just really it's really bad it's really bad god damn it

[00:41:30] waffle house i gotta go to i hop now let's go to the other side of the pendulum let's talk about

[00:41:34] california yeah i gotta go to cracker barrel now god damn it all right in california about half a

[00:41:41] million fast food workers are now making at least 20 dollars per hour thanks to a new law that raises

[00:41:46] wages for restaurant change with more than 60 nationwide locations the law also establishes

[00:41:52] a fast food council of first in the u.s to annually adjust wages in line with inflation

[00:41:58] or up to 3.5 percent and to address worker safety and other issues owners of some fast food

[00:42:05] franchise locations have already increased prices or cut worker hours in response to the higher

[00:42:11] wages chad does this drive you to californication or is it just a little california dreamin yeah so

[00:42:20] over the years we've been told a bunch of lies a lot of myths if we pay these people living

[00:42:25] wages we're gonna have to go out of business we're going to have to raise the food rates etc etc etc

[00:42:32] well in november of 2013 yes over 10 years ago c-tech passed prop one which authorized a 15

[00:42:40] dollar minimum wage policy which was phased in over several years the policy went into

[00:42:44] effect in january of 2014 six months later the larger seattle city council expanded a similar

[00:42:53] 15 dollar minimum wage policy to nearly 20 000 workers so this is a great model to look at

[00:43:00] as as we look at predicting outcomes uh because this took place more than 10 years ago did that kill

[00:43:06] restaurants no since 2015 the number of restaurants is actually up in seattle five percent that's

[00:43:13] over 3200 restaurants annual sales increased by 20 percent seattle's job growth have outpaced

[00:43:22] the rest of the washington state so now let's go back to cali cali cali the new cali cali 20

[00:43:31] dollar per hour minimum wage the last time california raised the minimum wage to 16

[00:43:37] dollars guess what happened profits went up what where do you think these people buy food when you

[00:43:44] put money in people's pockets they fucking spend it right they can buy more so owners should

[00:43:50] stop balling up in the fetal position and start researching these models many seattle restaurants

[00:43:56] are experiencing much lower turnover and higher profits because of this this is not the shit that

[00:44:03] milton freeman talked about he had fear in oh you're gonna lose people and all the money has to

[00:44:09] go to the top fuck off milton i hope you're turning over in your goddamn grave right now

[00:44:13] because you were wrong we need to pay the people he's he's with jack welch and not very happy

[00:44:18] about your words coming out of your mouth okay there are a couple things i don't like about this

[00:44:23] i don't like that there's a rule that if you serve just bread alone you're immune you're like immune

[00:44:28] to this weird means panera which means panera bread gets gets gets a pass from this and apparently

[00:44:35] nuisance in the panera so there's some politics here that i don't i don't like particularly

[00:44:41] but everything else you should like look you have to have 60 plus locations so that means it's

[00:44:46] not killing the mom and pop barbecue you know down the street it's not killing you know the takarito

[00:44:54] takaria um you know favorite downtown whatever stops you so these are mainly big companies

[00:44:59] with a lot of money a lot of resources and so the fear of margaret was the prices are gonna go

[00:45:04] gargoyle go insane you're not gonna be able to afford it so we have our first indication of what

[00:45:09] price increases mean uh there was an in and out burger uh pre-april 1st and post-april 1st in terms

[00:45:17] of prices so i think i'm paying 10 cents more for a cheeseburger i'm paying like five cents more uh

[00:45:23] for for a hamburger maybe 20 cents more for a shake fries didn't go up so potatoes must be doing

[00:45:30] very well growing wise so cheap it's not like my cheeseburger went from 3.99 to 10.99 right

[00:45:37] so the price increases are negligible these folks that have a hard time making a living

[00:45:42] will now be able to do so by the way we know that when poor people get money more money they spend

[00:45:50] it they spend it on food and to gas and consumables and iPads and yeah so so most of this is going

[00:45:58] to come back into the mark like the cycle when you give rich people a lot of money they put

[00:46:04] in a bank or they you know they store it they don't just spend it yeah so giving money to people

[00:46:11] without means is usually a good thing to keep the economy right robust now what will be interesting

[00:46:17] to see so i don't think there's any armageddon i don't think there's like the route the sky is

[00:46:21] falling i think everything is gonna be fine frankly 20 should be 25 we've talked about that a few

[00:46:26] times on the show but 20 isn't like not enough is not quite enough especially in california yeah

[00:46:30] i do think they should use this as a recruiting tool to get people to move to california because of

[00:46:35] the the higher minimum wage uh get people leaving texas in florida so who's going to serve your

[00:46:40] your barbacoa bowl if they're all in california making more money i think that's interesting

[00:46:45] this is being politicized big time uh the new york post right wing entertaining publication

[00:46:51] and the last uh their headline was california fast food minimum wage law is already a disaster

[00:46:57] and new york wants some of it too so this is going to be politicized but there's no

[00:47:01] skies falling situation in california no one no one is good now will some people lose their job

[00:47:07] probably i think i think the best people will stay and maybe some of the worst will be let go

[00:47:13] there'll be some people that that are sacrificed for this prices don't blow up like i think people

[00:47:21] have been have been fearful full of i do think it will increase or accelerate the

[00:47:25] investment in robots i think that's inevitable no matter where we are people just hate employing

[00:47:30] people no matter how much they're paying them the interesting thing will be in 10 years when

[00:47:34] we're hopefully not doing the show anymore but what do fast food places look like is it like a

[00:47:38] really small group of professionals that make really good salaries and they're managing

[00:47:42] the robots and the customer service like restaurants will probably look much different than they

[00:47:47] they do today probably whether we're doing the show to talk about it i don't know but

[00:47:51] this is a good thing people this is a good thing yeah i'll be on the beach in portugal

[00:47:56] where we don't have fast food so i won't give a fuck no matter what

[00:48:03] listening to kibu yeah i do enjoy the occasional burger king when i'm in europe though and five

[00:49:12] fresh stores and replacing them with smart carts that allow customers to skip the checkout line

[00:49:18] but see their spending in real time the change comes after customer feedback and as part of a

[00:49:23] revamp of the grocery chain just walk out technology is will be available in amazon ghost

[00:49:30] stores in some smaller amazon fresh stores in the uk as well as two third party retailers

[00:49:36] but by all accounts this program is on the ropes chat your thoughts on amazon's latest move

[00:49:42] yeah i think the the smart carts are incredibly smart i just hope it's not like enemy of the

[00:49:48] state where they have you know cameras all over the place watching and i mean that's just that

[00:49:54] gets it's a little bit too dystopian for me but yeah i mean to be able to see innovation come to

[00:50:01] grocery shopping the only thing that we've seen in innovation for grocery shopping i mean obviously

[00:50:07] back the back office stuff and then also inventory those types of things that makes a lot of sense

[00:50:13] but you know the the the self-checkouts which they're going to be scaling back on so will this

[00:50:19] be the replacement for a self-checkout possibly in the future i don't know but it'll be it'll

[00:50:25] be interesting to watch that's for damn sure yeah clearly self-serve uh is in flux yeah the the the

[00:50:34] panacea of like let people check themselves out no cashiers uh or just walk out the door

[00:50:40] is not really built for human beings uh human beings are like just stand and stand at your

[00:50:47] local self-serve checkout area when you have some spare time people are like they don't scan it

[00:50:54] right uh they take it off the way thing and they're gonna start over yeah like it's six people checking

[00:51:00] out there's one person that has to handle six people yeah two of them don't know what the hell

[00:51:04] they're doing uh the third is like needs needs age verification because they're buying alcohol

[00:51:11] like you end up being in this infinite loop of waiting for the person to check you out oh yeah

[00:51:17] and waiting for them and then people like it's people just aren't meant for self-service and so

[00:51:24] you see dollar store target walmart or like we're phasing some of this out and i think i think this

[00:51:32] has been an experiment by amazon that probably hasn't gone the way that they hoped look amazon

[00:51:37] did a lot of crazy stuff when basos was at the helm whether it was like uh whole foods mgm studios

[00:51:45] why i guess they're getting into medium or the fire phone uh remember uh nobody bought

[00:51:53] and they fortunately under under jesse they focused on three things that are really successful for them

[00:52:01] e-commerce aws and advertising people don't understand amazon is like the third largest

[00:52:08] advertising platform out there those are really good profitable businesses that aren't a pain in

[00:52:14] the ass so like this whole whole foods checkout thing has got to be a pain in the ass that they

[00:52:20] don't want to deal with yeah but they have to because they spent how many billions on whole foods they

[00:52:24] have to think about this i don't know if this will work i'm not hopeful for humanity to get

[00:52:31] get a i'm going to take a cart and it's gonna it's going to track what i put in the cart

[00:52:35] and then i can just walk out like wouldn't i put my credit card like you've seen videos of

[00:52:39] the just walk out where people are like what do i do like just walk out just walk out i think there's a

[00:52:44] there's a comment about some black people they're like wait no no no i'm not just walking out where

[00:52:49] do i favor this yeah no shit right no i'm not falling for this historically i'm not walking

[00:52:53] out with shit right yeah i'm not doing that where's the camera i'm getting pumped here so yeah i'm

[00:52:59] like so i think i think amazon needs to focus on what they do well uh get rid of these hubris

[00:53:05] inducing uh side projects and get back to basics but uh they're not the only big company having a

[00:53:12] little bit of an image image problem or you know what the hell they're going to be when they

[00:53:17] grow up problem apple the largest company on the planet is exploring the development of a mobile

[00:53:23] robot that can follow users around their homes and a robotic smart display for homes

[00:53:29] but it is still in the early stages and not yet committed to releasing these products the

[00:53:33] company has been under pressure to find new sources of revenue and sees robotics as a potential

[00:53:39] opportunity to expand its presence in the home market the focus on ai and machine learning

[00:53:44] is part of apple's strategy for future growth but the company has yet not committed to either

[00:53:50] project chad are you ready for apple robots following you around in your house and more than

[00:53:57] that are your dogs ready for a robot to follow you around in your house yeah the the only

[00:54:03] thing i could think of is the jetsons and rosy they're their robot that followed them around uh

[00:54:10] i thought that was really cool now i have my own place my own dogs and yeah i don't need that i've

[00:54:15] got robots that uh you know vacuum my carpet and can possibly mark you know mop my floor but i

[00:54:22] don't need any of that other shit i i'm sometimes i want to unplug my google home just because the

[00:54:28] fucker listens to me all the time so i think yeah this is this is literally a bridge too far

[00:54:35] for me at least uh i just i'm just not sure how long it's going to take for society

[00:54:42] to start well first and foremost the the cost right so the cost uh is going to be is going to

[00:54:48] be a factor but will society be comfortable with having something like that in the house

[00:54:55] all the time i don't know i just know that i won't can i have sex with the robot and does it look like

[00:55:03] jennifer aniston is the question i guess that i have for this thing obviously it's not with

[00:55:07] their only fans um look part part of me feels bad for these big companies that have to make these

[00:55:14] huge swings uh they can't just dabble in stuff and apple is post steve jobs really it's it's

[00:55:21] like air pods and technically the watch that have been successful which are really extensions of the

[00:55:27] iphone look they've they've dabbled in tv's they're rumored to get into that uh they were rumored to

[00:55:34] have cars that not happening apple home was a thing carplay should be a thing um they just can't

[00:55:42] get it right nope and this ain't it look vision the vision pros dead on arrival uh i i haven't

[00:55:50] heard anything about them since they launched i wear glasses chat and my latest pair is the meta

[00:55:56] ray band um glasses which are great because you don't really know they're smart glasses

[00:56:01] i can i can listen to music or my or podcasts as my wife yells at me about how i didn't

[00:56:08] mow the yard right i'm just listening that i can take pictures and video like

[00:56:12] that's the kind of thing apple needs to develop they need to buy warby parker or partner with

[00:56:19] prada or dolce gabbana and create like smart glasses that are like that that are cool you

[00:56:24] don't really know they're there these big swings are are messing uh messing them up i guess is a

[00:56:30] final thought maybe amazon and apple could partner and create a penis rocket that can follow me

[00:56:39] around my house that my friends sounds like a home run and with that
